I enjoyed visiting with family and friends along my way. In Kennewick, WA I was able to stay with and visit my sister Karen Russell and her husband Kendall. I also saw my nephews Dan & Matt Russell and their families. In Kalispell, MT, I was able to visit with my niece Laini Gray. I travelled for nearly a week with my sister Jan Gray. When we reached her home in Simms, MT I was able to enjoy a 4 day visit on the ranch and drive into Great Falls, MT where I was born. While in Great Falls I was able to have lunch with my cousins Nancy (Serdahl) Harris, Sandy (Serdahl) Hayes, and Steve Serdahl. I also was able to visit and decorate the graves of all my grandparents who are buried in the same cemetery outside of Great Falls. These grandparents are: Archie Harmon Monroe, Martha Abigail Monroe, Frederick Tideman Serdahl, Anna Maude Serdahl, and Mary Cummings Serdahl. Last time I was in Great Falls I visited the cemetery with my mom, and I felt it a great honor to visit the graves of those who have gone before me.
